You’ve seen our spec sheets. You’re familiar with our website. But how many fascinating stories of V-Cone® applications have you heard? We’re here to share 3 little known facts about the V-Cone, from our V-Cone Applications Engineering Manager. A Strong Solution One...
The V-Cone® is one of McCrometer’s most versatile flow meters, in the ability to customize pressure taps, end connections, and most of all – material of construction. Often, the material construction varies from customer to customer based on the demands of the...
Straightening vanes and flow straighteners, in tandem with propeller meters, have been an important component of flow measurement in the agriculture industry – and for a good reason. Typically installed near flow disturbers or in short straight-run applications, flow...
Sometimes, a meter installation isn’t as straightforward as we’d like it to be. To prevent potentially time-consuming and frustrating delays and issues, McCrometer offers a startup service.
While it’s true that the V-Cone® primary element does the flow measuring, the transmitter is also an important component to effective flow measurement, and the decision-making that results from that data collection. For high turndown applications, customers have the...
Part of the V-Cone®’s appeal is its ability to be customized, including made-to-order end connections – a major benefit for engineers with a long list of specifications to meet and project goals to accomplish. We spoke to the McCrometer V-Cone engineers about the...
While it’s true that McCrometer’s Technical Support and Service Department typically assists customers after the point of purchase, there also happens to be several services offered prior to the meter being manufactured. The FPI Mag, McCrometer’s full profile...
Contrary to the popular Beach Boys song, vibrations aren’t always good – especially when they interfere with the functionality of your flow meter. In busy spaces where neighboring equipment gives off varying frequencies, having a flow meter that can mitigate...
We often hear the terms “cladding” and “weld overlay” used synonymously – and while the two terms are related, they do differ. We asked the engineering experts at McCrometer to weigh in on the similarities and differences between cladding and weld overlay, and here’s...
McCrometer offers four insertion-style electromagnetic (mag) meters, which have similar designs and product names. If you’re interested in an insertion mag meter, or are comparing them to traditional full-bore mag meters, here’s what you need to know in order to...
Water Transfer and the Associated Use Cases The water transfer industry evolved to support one of the Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods called hydrofracking. Hydrofracking or “fracking” involves the injection of a mixture of water, sand, and proprietary chemicals at...
As mentioned previously in the Basic Water Transfer Use Cases Blog, most water transfer operations (70%) are handled using battery powered flow meters. They read their totals from the totalizer on the display and may utilize the built in data logger to quantify rates...
Introduction The Oil and Gas industry operates on a foundation of precision and efficiency. Among the many critical aspects that demand accurate measurement, flow rates stand as a vital indicator of production, efficiency, and resource utilization. In this blog, we...
